About this show

Enter the colourful, surprising and mischievous world of Mongrels... Let's meet the cast: Nelson is your typical everyday, spice-rack-owning, broadsheet-reading, metrosexual, urban fox. New to London, he is planning to make the absolute best of his new territory. There he meets Destiny, a sexy, pretentious wannabe Afghan hound with whom he falls in love; a wide-eyed, slow-brained street cat called Marion; Kali, a sarcastic pigeon and Vince, a wild, unashamed fox who's everything Nelson isn't. They may be furry, they may be feathered, they may be feral (some of them at least), but scratch their hairy surfaces and these guys are just five mixed-up kidults struggling with everyday emotional truths about life, love, sex, aspirations, desperations and shattered dreams.

This is pipkins after the jailbird years. I really cannot, and shouldn't recommend this manchild, infantile, and frankly onerous obtuse and offensive adult humour. However being guilty of these, I must admit. It's really the puppies testicle of a pipkins paraody for the more mature children.
